Standing in the pouring rain
Painted hearts peeling away
I know it feels like the weight of a waterfall
Crushing your back chaining you to your knees
My arms grow out like the willow branches
I want your forgiveness, yet I'm speaking in tongues
Standing in pouring rain
Painted hearts peeling away
It always feels like we're reading a script ('script for lithium)
I know that you know, that this is all bullshit
We both love to make it our cross to bear
It always feels like we're reading a script ('script for lithium)
Do you think that I think that this is all worth it?
It's like the safety in watching reruns
Will a sense of change ever come?
Or do we spend our time waiting for one?
I know it feels like the weight of a waterfall
Crushing your back chaining you to your knees
My arms grow out like the willow branches
I want your forgiveness, yet I'm speaking in tongues
Can you look at me and numb me?
Just wake me up when it's said and done
I've been ready for this since day one
Our hearts painted, dried in the sun
Our hearts haven't tainted - not poisoned, not blind
You weren't ready to leave, but we were ready to run
NOT POISONED
NOT BLIND
